Vultures in the hotel Continental and other notes of a zoo director (anglicky)

Nová kniha ředitele Zoo Praha pojednává o neobyčejných zvířatech i lidech. Díky poutavým textům a jedinečným fotografiím se přenesete do zákulisí zoologické zahrady i její historie, navštívíte africké pralesy a mongolské pouště, ale pobudete třeba také u rybníka v Českém ráji. Kniha ředitele Zoo Praha doplněná množstvím jedinečných fotografií není samozřejmě věnována jen supům. Namátkou uvádíme názvy alespoň některých z celkem 58 kapitol: A Green Magpie for My Professor – Kamba, our Gorilla Grannie – On Patrol in the Gobi – An Antlion in the Mayonnaise – How a Griraffe Is Born – The Lake Titicaca Frog in Prague! – A Greeting from the First Ruler of the Seas – The Joyful Jurney to Kordula – The Nonsensical Parrot – The Liberation of Our Anna from ‘Turkish Captivity’ – The Polite Orangutan Pagy-Jarkovský – A Journey to the Bottom of Darwin Crater – Mrs Nutmeg, Mrs Aniseed, Mrs Laurel and Mr Sumac – Names for the Elephant Princesses --------------------------- The new book by Prague Zoo’s director is concerned with extraordinary animals and people. Thanks to the engaging texts and unique photographs, you will be transported to get a behind the scenes look at the zoo and its history, you will visit African forests and the Mongolian deserts, but you will also stay at a pond in the Bohemian Paradise.
